Sivasagar which is also spelled as Sibsagar, is a city in and capital of the Sivasagar district of Assam, India. The place lies roughly about 360 kilometres northeast of the city of Guwahati. This place is surrounded by the Dehing rainforest, where the Dihing and Lohit rivers meet each other. One can witness an old civilization in this area along with a group of old structures comprising three Hindu temples of Sivadol, Vishnudol (meaning temple of the Lord Vishnu) and Devidol (meaning temple of the Goddess Durga) shrines, and a museum.

This place was the old capital named ‘Rangpur’ for the Ahom kings from the years of 1699 to 1788 AD and this is what is Sivasagar today. This ancient city speaks of its royal glory by not just by Architecture but also the prominence of features like grand Shiva, Vishnu, Durga Maa temples and one of the largest Man-made tanks like Joysagar, Gaurisagar, and Rudrasagar.

You can appreciate the royalty by looking at the construction of Rang Ghar, the amphitheater and palace-like Talatal Ghar and witness the ancient structures this place is famous for. The museum in the campus is something which can’t be left out as it has artifacts, vestments, swords, manuscripts, goblets, and household utensils from the time of Ahoms. Sivasagar is easily accessible by road, rail and air services. Guwahati, the capital of Assam, is 370 kilometres away to its northwest and regular deluxe buses operate from here. Sivasagar has a railway station. The nearest airport is at Jorhat, which is 55 kilometres away.
